In the atherosclerotic lesion, macrophages ingest high levels of damaged, modified, low density lipoproteins (LDL), generating macrophage foam cells. Foam cells undergo apoptosis, and if not efficiently cleared by efferocytosis, can undergo secondary necrosis, leading to plaque instability and rupture. As a component of the innate immune complement cascade, C1q recognizes and opsonizes modified forms of LDL such as oxidized or acetylated LDL, and promotes ingestion by macrophages in vitro. C1q has been shown to be protective in an atherosclerosis model in vivo. Therefore these studies aimed to investigate if ingestion of modified LDL in the presence of C1q would alter macrophage foam cell survival or function. In an unbiased transcriptome analysis, C1q was shown to modulate expression of clusters of genes involved in cell death and apoptosis pathways in human monocyte derived macrophages ingesting modified LDL, which were validated by quantitative PCR in both human and murine macrophages. C1q downregulated levels and activity of active caspase-3 and PARP-1 in human and mouse macrophages during ingestion of modified LDL. This led to a measurable increase in survival and decrease in cell death as measured by AlamarBlue and Propidium Iodide assays, respectively. C1q opsonization also increased phagocytosis and efferocytosis in macrophage foam cells. These data suggest that C1q promotes macrophage survival during ingestion of excess cholesterol, as well as improving foam cell efferocytic function. This may be important in slowing disease progression, and provide insight into the protective role of C1q in early atherosclerosis.
